Green shared the stage with fellow comedians Laura High (who hosted the evening), as well as Joe Alfano, who was hilarious.
Emcee Laura High, who hails from Westchester, warmed up the stage, where she made jokes on such topics as marriage, divorce and camping. She also interacted with the audience during her opening set.
Joe Alfano, who lives in Queens but has family in Brooklyn, opened up about his Italian heritage and discussed the advantages and disadvantages of his look (referring to his bald head). He commanded the crowd’s attention for the duration of his set, and he was absolutely hysterical since his jokes were relatable.
